The trouble seems to ' have been caused by moneyed 1 men in New York withdrawing c their money from circulation in ^ an effort to prevent money being 1 advanced to farmers who wished!1 to hold cotton. This is advanced * by some, who are in position to 1 know, as the chief reason. c There are others who believe 8 differently.
